Flew off my bike and ended up with a mildly displaced fracture. Had a terrible ER experience and they didn’t explain anything so I’ve been moving arm normally for three days following the accident before realizing I need to be in the sling and keeping it still…

1. Could I have made it a lot worse by not having it in a split or soft cast?

2. Do I need surgery?

3. What happens if I go back to lifting 10-15 lbs before the bone is fully healed?
